SAVE TO JPG OR AVI The recorder can export single images in a JPG Image file format and save video clips in an AVI format. B oth JPG and AVI file formats
are the most commonly used graphical formats today. Virtually every computer offers some type of suppo rt for these file formats which
make them the most ideal formats to use. Only one camera can be selected at a time for this function to w ork.
Image Images can be exported in JPG, PNG, or BMP formats. The JPG format is optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale
photographic images (uses lossy compression, and will create a small file size). The PNG format is designed to maintain more
quality while still compressing full-color or grayscale photographic images (uses a lossless compressi on, and will crea a medium
file size). The BMP format can be used for full-color or grayscale photographic images (uses little, or no compression, and will
create a large file size). Use any of these options to export a single image or frame.
AVI AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically compressed using a Windows-suppli ed or third party compression
and decompression module called a codec. AVI is used to export a video clip.
